Figure 1.

Figure 3. 




Figure 4. 



Figure 1 — With shuttle in 
right hand hold the end of 
thread between the thumb and 
first finger of left hand. Lay 
the thread over all fingers, rais- 
ing second or middle finger and 
bring thread back to end of 
thread between thumb and first 
finger; leave the thread over 
fingers to the left of loop, pass 
the shuttle through loop from 
right to left and bring it out 
between loop and shuttle 
thread as shown in illustration. 

Figure 2 — Lower second fin- 
ger; stretch shuttle thread 
tight with a jerk and hold 
tight. The second or middle 
finger of left hand must now be 
raised with the loop on it, this 
forms left knot or first half of 
double stitch. It is advisable 
for a beginner to practice this 
first movement for a time be- 
fore attempting the second 
movement of first stitch. The 
knot is always formed with the 
loop thread on left hand. The 
thread on the right hand, 
or shuttle thread, must be 
stretched tight when knot is 
being formed. The shuttle 
thread must be free to run 
through the knots made; this 
is necessary to loosen or draw 
up rings. 

Figure 3 — The next move- 
ment or second half of first 
stitch is made as follows: 
Leave the shuttle thread to 
right of loop, pass shuttle over 
and through loop from left to 
right as in illustration No. 3. 
Stretch shuttle thread out 
tight, raise second finger of left 
hand with loop on it and draw 
up second knot same as first 
was made; this finishes first 
double stitch. Now be sure 
that the shuttle thread slips 
freely through the knot. 

Figure 4— HOW TO MAKE 
PICOT. Picots add a lacy ap- 
pearance to tatting designs and 
also serve in joining different 
parts of a design together. It 
is not difficult to make picots 
all one size after a little prac- 
tice. However, beginners will 
find a pin or crochet hook help- 
ful to draw picots out to the 
size desired. Picots are made 
as follows : Make double stitch, 
leave a short loop between the 
first and next or second double 
stitch. This, when drawn up, 
forms a picot. See illustration 
No. 4. 



Figure 5 — After the desired 
amount of double stitches and 
picots have been made, take 
loop from left hand and draw 
it up with shuttle thread as in- 
dicated in illustration No. 5. 
This forms first ring. 

Figure 6 — The first quarter 
of the next ring is now made 
of double stitches and is joined 
to side picot of first ring by 
bringing loop thread through 
picot with a pin or crochet 
hook and passing shuttle 
through the loop. Draw up 
with second finger same as 
when making other stitches. 
Finish ring with double stitches 
and picots same as in first ring, 
and draw up. 

Figure 7 — To form half 
circles, scallops and straight 
lines in tatting it is necessary 
to use two shuttles, or a ball of 
thread and one shuttle, the sec- 
ond shuttle thread being used 
for scallops and straight lines. 
Begin by tying both threads 
together, hold knot between 
thumb and first finger of left 
hand, make rings with first 
shuttle and thread exactly the 
same as in previous directions, 
but when a straight line, scal- 
lop or half circle is to be made 
use thread of second shuttle by 
bringing it over the fingers of 
the left hand, which are held 
in same position as before, and 
catching it around the little 
finger. Let the shuttle hang 
Then with the first shuttle 
make the number of stitches 
required. This is called a chain. 
When ready to make rings 
again drop thread of second 
shuttle and make loop of 
thread from first shuttle over 
fingers of left hand as before.
